Hello, Tomo! What should I do if I am having issues being able to recognize Do Mi So from Mi So Do from So Do Mi? They sound different to me, but I cannot pinpoint or recognize which is which by ear. What do you recommend doing to learn to recognize one from another?

Thank you Scott for sharing this.
Please don't worry! It will take some time to understand triads deeply.
Did you practice Major Scale on one string?
Name of note: C D E
Intervals: Root Major2nd Major3rd
Singing" Do Re Mi
Did you practice those a lot?
Did you watch this video 4-5 times?

If you only watched 2 times then not enough.
One string approach to hear
1) Do Mi So (C E G)
2) Mi So Do (E G C)
3) So Do Mi (G C E)
Learn only one set from 123/234/345/456 set strings.
Maybe top 3 strings. 123 set strings.

Thank you.

I practiced a lot: Major Scale on one string, Name of note, Root M2, M3, Singing Do Re Mi. I will slow down and do the one-string approach to hear Do Mi So, Mi So Do, and So Do Mi. I can do the Major scale on all strings individually. Also, Root-3rd, 2nd-4th, 3rd-5th, 4th-6th, etc. I have learned Triads vertically in the first position in the key of C.
I am learning the 123 set now. I am beginning to understand that you play triads over the chord progression to sound better. I will watch these videos over again several times as you requested.

Good job Scott. Please be patient. It will take sometime to settle in. Slowly you will hear those.
Play each note slowly and think about all. Good job! Each video, you should watch it many times.
Keep going!

Thank you, Tomo!
Perhaps I need to listen closer instead of focusing on patterns. I know that is something you say is not the way to do it.

Hi Scott,
I recommend spending a month doing the "July" triad challenge on top three strings every day.
Search "July" in forums and dig deep!
You'll be singing Do-Mi-So, Mi So Do and So Do Mi before you even play them!

My pleasure! Any topic... you want to stay with it without any expetation. Be patient and keep doing!
That's why I practice 2-3 things everyday without my expectation.
